Afact vmwgfx already has all the right refcounting implemented on the
backing storage, and we only need to ensure that the drm fb doesn't
disappear untimely. So holding onto the fb reference from _lookup
until vmw_kms_present has completed should be enough.

And replace all fb lookups with it. Also add a WARN to
drm_mode_object_find since that is now no longer the blessed interface
to look up an fb. And add kerneldoc to both functions.

This only updates all callsites, but immediately drops the acquired
refence again. Hence all callers still rely on the fact that a mode fb
can't disappear while they're holding the struct mutex. Subsequent
patches will instate proper use of refcounts, and then rework the rmfb
and unref code to no longer serialize fb destruction with the
mode_config lock. We don't want that since otherwise a compositor
might end up stalling for a few frames in rmfb.

v2: Don't use kref_get_unless_zero - Greg KH doesn't like that kind of
interface.

<title>drm: revamp locking around fb creation/destruction</title>

Well, at least step 1. The goal here is that framebuffer objects can
survive outside of the mode_config lock, with just a reference held
as protection. The first step to get there is to introduce a special
fb_lock which protects fb lookup, creation and destruction, to make
them appear atomic.

This new fb_lock can nest within the mode_config lock. But the idea is
(once the reference counting part is completed) that we only quickly
take that fb_lock to lookup a framebuffer and grab a reference,
without any other locks involved.

vmwgfx is the only driver which does framebuffer lookups itself, also
wrap those calls to drm_mode_object_find with the new lock.

Also protect the fb_list walking in i915 and omapdrm with the new lock.

As a slight complication there's also the list of user-created fbs
attached to the file private. The problem now is that at fclose() time
we need to walk that list, eventually do a modeset call to remove the
fb from active usage (and are required to be able to take the
mode_config lock), but in the end we need to grab the new fb_lock to
remove the fb from the list. The easiest solution is to add another
mutex to protect this per-file list.

Currently that new fbs_lock nests within the modeset locks and so
appears redudant. But later patches will switch around this sequence
so that taking the modeset locks in the fb destruction path is
optional in the fastpath. Ultimately the goal is that addfb and rmfb
do not require the mode_config lock, since otherwise they have the
potential to introduce stalls in the pageflip sequence of a compositor
(if the compositor e.g. switches to a fullscreen client or if it
enables a plane). But that requires a few more steps and hoops to jump
through.

Note that framebuffer creation/destruction is now double-protected -
once by the fb_lock and in parts by the idr_lock. The later would be
unnecessariy if framebuffers would have their own idr allocator. But
that's material for another patch (series).

v2: Properly initialize the fb-&gt;filp_head list in _init, otherwise the
newly added WARN to check whether the fb isn't on a fpriv list any
more will fail for driver-private objects.

v3: Fixup two error-case unlock bugs spotted by Richard Wilbur.

<title>drm: only take the crtc lock for -&gt;cursor_move</title>

-&gt;cursor_move uses mostly the same facilities in drivers as
-&gt;cursor_set, so pretty much nothing to fix up:

- ast/gma500/i915: They all use per-crtc registers to update the
  cursor position. ast again touches the global cursor cache, but
  that's ok since there's only one crtc.

- nouveau: nv50+ is again special, updates happen through the per-crtc
  channel (without pushbufs), so it's not protected by the new evo
  lock introduced earlier. But since this channel is per-crtc, we
  should be fine anyway.

- radeon: A bit a mess: avivo asics need a workaround when both output
  pipes are enabled, which means it'll access the crtc list. Just
  reading that flag is ok though as long as radeon _always_ grabs all
  locks when changing the crtc configuration. Which means with the
  current scheme it cannot do an optimized modeset which only locks
  the relevant crtcs. This can be fixed though by introducing a bit of
  global state with separate locks and ensure in the modeset code that
  the cursor will be updated appropriately when enabling the 2nd pipe
  (on affected asics).

- vmwgfx: I still don't understand what it's doing exactly, so apply
  the same trick for now.

v2: Fixup unlocking for the error cases, spotted by Richard Wilbur.

v3: Another error-case fixup.

First convert -&gt;cursor_set to only take the crtc lock, since that
seems to be the function with the least amount of state - the core
ioctl function doesn't check anything which can change at runtime, so
we don't have any object lifetime issues to contend.

The only thing which is important is that the driver's implementation
doesn't touch any state outside of that single crtc which is not yet
properly protected by other locking:

- ast: access the global ast-&gt;cache_kmap. Luckily we only have on crtc
  on this driver, so this is fine. Add a comment.

- gma500: calls gma_power_begin|and and psb_gtt_pin|unpin, both which
  have their own locking to protect their state. Everything else is
  crtc-local.

- i915: touches a bit of global gem state, all protected by the One
  Lock to Rule Them All (dev-&gt;struct_mutex).

- nouveau: Pre-nv50 is all nice, nv50+ uses the evo channels to queue
  up all display changes. And some of these channels are device
  global. But this is fine now since the previous patch introduced an
  evo channel mutex.

- radeon: Uses some indirect register access for cursor updates, but
  with the previous patches to protect these indirect 2-register
  access patterns with a spinlock, this should be fine now, too.

- vmwgfx: I have no idea how that works - update_cursor_position
  doesn't take any per-crtc argument and I haven't figured out any
  other place where this could be set in some form of a side-channel.
  But vmwgfx definitely has more than one crtc (or at least can
  register more than one), so I have no idea how this is supposed to
  not fail with the current code already. Hence take the easy way out
  and simply acquire all locks (which requires dropping the crtc lock
  the core acquired for us). That way it's not worse off for
  consistency than the old code.

Ok, this one here is a bit more complicated, and I can't really claim
to fully understand the locking and lifetime rules of the vmwgfx
driver. So just convert ever mutex_lock call, including the
interruptible one. Since other places (e.g. in the execbuf ioctl) take
the mode_config.mutex without bothering with interruptible handling,
I've figured I should be able to get away with this in a few more
places ...

<title>drm/&lt;drivers&gt;: Unified handling of unimplemented fb-&gt;create_handle</title>

<id>af26ef3b3978349cfbd864163a6ebb4906b733b5</id>
<content type='text'>
Some drivers don't have real -&gt;create_handle callbacks.

- cirrus/ast/mga200: Returns either 0 or -EINVAL.

- udl: Didn't even bother with a callback, leading to a nice
  userspace-triggerable OOPS.

- vmwgfx: This driver bothered with an implementation to return 0 as
  the handle (which is the canonical no-obj gem handle).

All have in common that -&gt;create_handle doesn't really make too much
sense for them - that ioctl is used only for seamless fb takeover in
the radeon/nouveau/i915 ddx drivers. So allow drivers to not implement
this and return a consistent -ENODEV.

Some drivers don't have real -&gt;create_handle callbacks.

- cirrus/ast/mga200: Returns either 0 or -EINVAL.

- udl: Didn't even bother with a callback, leading to a nice
  userspace-triggerable OOPS.

- vmwgfx: This driver bothered with an implementation to return 0 as
  the handle (which is the canonical no-obj gem handle).

All have in common that -&gt;create_handle doesn't really make too much
sense for them - that ioctl is used only for seamless fb takeover in
the radeon/nouveau/i915 ddx drivers. So allow drivers to not implement
this and return a consistent -ENODEV.
